Rui Manuel da Silva Correia (born 22 October 1967) is a Portuguese former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
He appeared in 264 Primeira Liga matches over 15 seasons, mainly with Braga.
Correia was born in São João da Madeira. In a 21-year professional career he represented Sporting CP, Vitória de Setúbal, G.D. Chaves, S.C. Braga, FC Porto (winning two Primeira Liga championships and starting most of the games in 1997–98),[2] S.C. Salgueiros, C.D. Feirense, A.D. Ovarense and G.D. Estoril Praia.
Correia retired at almost 40, after four seasons in the second division – and one in the third with Feirense[3] – and subsequently joined S.C. Olhanense as its goalkeeping coach. In 2010, he signed with top-flight club Académica de Coimbra in the same capacity.[4]
Correia earned two caps for Portugal and participated at UEFA Euro 1996, being an unused squad member for the quarter-finalists.[5]
